A Georgia woman was mistakenly jailed for one month after cops confused her SpaghettiOs for meth.
Ashley Gabrielle Huff was first detained on July 2 after officers in Gainesville found a spoon with a dried substance baked onto it inside her car during a routine traffic stop.
The 23-year-old, from Commerce, claimed it was residue from the canned pasta that she liked to eat in the vehicle.
Police, however, believed it to be methamphetamine.
Huff, who had no criminal history, was sent to Hall County Jail for two days so cops could conduct crime lab tests on the mysterious texture.

That's just on TV. In real life, the best meth is slightly-yellow. That's the really good stuff for banging it with your needle and rig. Makes you strip your clothes right off and start running around your apartment and rutting with every other naked tweaker.
Er, at least, so I've heard. Um, from friends. You know, like this girl.
Second, she was a passenger, meaning he had no right to search her bag, and the stories about the "glass pipe" and "burnt spoon" are obvious lies made to cover up the bogus charges.
I'm sorry, but I just don't see any reason why she should have been arrested, or why I should believe the police in this case.
I would want more than a financial settlement I would want someone’s head on a platter, their job at the very least. There is no excuse for this level of utter stupidity.
When dealing with government at any level, local, state or federal is there any competence and can you ever believe anything they say?
No.
If that pipe had residue on it, that right there is a conviction...Either the pipe had no residue on it, or the cop thought he could get a hit or two off of it...
For a working mother of two (prior to her arrest), she looks remarkably well rested.
It was all about the reference :)
That's a felony conviction, too. Georgia makes no distinction as to amount. In theory, nanogram quantities of Schedule-1 and -2 drugs are illegal and fully able to be prosecuted.
Even if the 'pipe' was found with absolutely no residue, when taken with (what they thought was) a meth-encrusted spoon, the minimum charge that would drop on that pipe is 'Possession of Drug Related Objects'. That's a nice little tossaway charge that the DA's love to plea away in exchange for a guilty on the bigger charge(s).
What you call a Meth look - then you'd presume I'm one too. I have adult acne as a result of a yeast allergy (aka from eating bread.)
Anything with yeast - 2 days later, I look that bad. (And she doesn't look rough. She's Ginger.)
Also, FYI, if I do have bread, within hours, my hair turns "greasy".
Quit assuming on one look and consider facts. (And she looks pissed off in that picture. Then again, I don't smile in my pictures either.) Not everyone looks like a shark when they smile.
LOL. You are lucky he didn't manage to reach a K9 unit to come over and “alert” on your vehicle. Punishment for being “smart” ie: disrespect of cop would have had you proned out as your car is tossed and you get to be arraigned and make bail.
The up side is you would have been able to retire early on the financial settlement that a mail order lawyer could have gotten out of the city or county. You missed your chance to win the highway lotto courtesy of officer Krupke. LOL
No, she is not fullblooded Ginger. Fullblooded Gingers cannot go out into sunlight, and they have no souls. She is more of a Daywalker. Daywalkers are partially derived from Gingers. They have small traces of a soul. Daywalkers can go out into direct sunlight for brief periods of time.
It does seem to be a much needed skill. LOL Our local police won’t help open vehicle doors anymore so I guess it’s a good thing there are so many others with the skills to help. :-)
If you saw a photo of me with no makeup, you’d probably have some horrible things to say.
Her hair was freshly washed and still damp in the photo. They probably showered her when they booked her. No makeup and a ‘are you kidding me?’ expression.
Her hair is damp. She doesn’t even have acne.
Son, you are just now finding out the dirty secret of what us women are hiding under our makeup.
I’m sorry. It’s all been a massive lie. The conspiracy runs deep. (Check out youtube makeup tutorials for acne. That’ll give you a reality check)
Hint: For the first date, always take her swimming.
Done!
They didn’t.
They jailed her because they wanted to jail her.
And that is the moral of the story. If a government employee wants you behind bars, innocent or no, they will find any reason to do so.
